I suggest that whoever adopts ifupdown will also take ifenslave and just 
fold it in ifupdown, because since it only contains scripts then it does 
not make any sense to keep it around as a standalone package anymore.
Hence also brilliantly solving the issue with the s-word.

Also, modern systems are supposed to migrate to the "new" teaming 
driver, but AFAIK it is well integrated only in NetworkManager.
